Bristol dream-pop outfit Oslo Twins will release their debut EP Back To Nothing on July 28th via Fascination Street Records.
“Miss Yesterday” is a single from the record which demonstrates the duo’s superb ability to draw in inspiration from dream pop classics of the 80s and present, along with a vibrant shimmering upbeat nature. Ultimately, they combine into something that becomes very much their own.
Speaking on the track, the band’s Claudia Vulliamy adds:
“When I was writing my part of the Miss Yesterday lyrics, I watched a clip from The Rocky Horror Picture Show of Tim Curry performing ‘I’m Going Home’. His character is a literal alien – and he’s completely insane but that’s besides the point – longing for familiarity, and he sings (with wet hair and smudged makeup, in a corset and fishnets) ‘I’ve seen blue skies through the tears in my eyes, and I realise, I’m going home.’ For some reason that lingered in my head and made its way into the tone of the song. Also, the chorus lyric ‘No one sees the world like we do’ is based on a similar phrase that Robert Mapplethorpe said to Patti Smith, according to Smith’s memoir Just Kids.”
